Regulation 26

This regulation applies for the purposes of section 22(2) of the Act in relation to a benefit paid in excess.

The Board or the Administrator may direct the insured person or an approved payee who received the excess payment, to repay such excess to the Fund to set‑off against any insured sum payable to the insured person or the approved payee, as the case may be.

The Board or the Administrator may, with the Minister’s approval, write‑off the benefit paid in excess in a particular case if the Board or the Administrator (as the case may be) determines that there are extenuating circumstances for not requiring the excess payment to be repaid.
